Winners and Losers from the Denver Broncos’ 33-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers
Well, that was ugly. The Denver Broncos’ preseason winning streak has ended after the Packers dominated them tonight. However, the Broncos still end the night as winners due to Bo Nix and Jaylen Waddle looking good and making an impact when they were on the field. At the end of the day, that is all […]
The Denver Broncos suffered a 33-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers in their Week 2 preseason matchup, but there were still a few winners and losers to be determined. Bo Nix and Jaylen Waddle emerged as the clear winners, both showcasing their skills and contributing significantly to the game. Nix returned to action after a broken ankle, leading the Broncos to a touchdown drive and connecting with Waddle for a big gain.
Waddle made an impressive debut, getting open and scoring on a 35-yard catch-and-run. On the losing side, Jarrett Stidham and the Broncos' defense struggled. Stidham had a rough outing, completing only 9 of 15 passes for 82 yards and an interception. The defense, which had previously shown promise, struggled against the Packers' run game, allowing big plays from their second and third-stringers.
Stidham's performance did not alarm the coaching staff, as his role as the backup quarterback appears secure. The team's special teams and reserve offensive line also faced criticism for their performance, with multiple penalties and struggles to effectively pass block in the run game. Overall, the Broncos' loss to the Packers highlights areas that need improvement as the regular season approaches.
